Serial Killers and Popularized Murders

“Three American human rights activists were murdered March 5 in northeastern Arauca province in Colombia, South America, where they had traveled at the invitation of the U’wa people. Since 1992 the U’wa have been locked in a life-and-death struggle to protect their homelands against oil drilling by Occidental Petroleum of Bakersfield, California.”

“Child murder is nevertheless quite rare, though it is more commonplace than in the 1960s. In 1966 there were 48 murders of children up to the ages of 14, and 13 murders of adolescents aged 15 to 19. In 1986 the figures were 58 and 35, respectively. (Canada) Murders of babies up to the age of 4 remained fairly static – 34 in 1966 and 32 in 1986 – but we must recall the sharp decline in the total population of infants between 1966 and 1986.”

“COLD CASE provides you the opportunity to assist law enforcement in solving actualmurder cases classified as being “COLD.” Our format is designed exactly like a homicidedetectives “murder book” which is prepared during the course of an investigation andmaintained up through the time of trial.”

“Los Angeles leads the nation in the number of gang homicides for two reasons. The population (#2 in the nation) and how law enforcement defines what a “gang murder” is. Los Angeles’ definition of “gang murder” inflates this statistic in comparison to other cities.”

“Justice for Murder Victims is a service of VOCAL (the Catina Rose Victims of Crime Assistance League) Foundation, an IRS recognized non-profit foundation. It is action-oriented. First incorporated in 1985 to serve victims of homicide, it became a foundation in 1995 to serve all crime victims.”

“My name is Tom Grant. I’m a California state licensed private investigator and former detective with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. On April 3, 1994, I was hired by Courtney Love, who was in Los Angeles at the time, to locate her husband after he left a drug rehab center in Marina Del Rey, California. Ms. Love stayed in Los Angeles while I flew to Seattle to search for Cobain with his best friend Dylan Carlson. In fact, Carlson and I had been in the Cobain residence the night before Kurt’s body was discovered in the room above the garage. The police immediately concluded “suicide.” I wasn’t so sure.” Was it MURDER or suicide?

“In a study of prosecuted murder cases, about 80 percent of murder victims knew their killers and 16 percent were related to their killers, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) announced today. BJS, a Department of Justice agency, said more than half of the victims had a romantic or social relationship with their murderers.”

“More than half of all murder victims in large cities are young black males – who are killed by other young black males. The vast majority of the murderers – and even a large percentage of their victims – have had previous trouble with the law. These findings are reported in a recent government study. Even though only 20 percent of the general population in large urban counties is black, blacks comprise 54 percent of all murder victims and 62 percent of all murder defendants.”

“BAY CITY — A Los Angeles writer is drafting a screenplay about the 1982 slayings of a Gladwin County couple, a case that went unsolved for 12 years and took some strange turns afterward. The case of Patrick and Linda Wright’s deaths included the acquittal of the original suspect; the convictions of the triggerman, one of the men who hired him and that man’s wife; and the death of Mrs. Wright’s first husband, Timothy Poole, who hunghimself in his prison cell the day he was to be charged with killing his second wife.”

“First-degree murder is generally defined in state law as murder which is planned in advance, or which takes place during certain other crimes, including robbery, kidnapping, rape, or arson. It is generally punishable by a sentence of 25- years-to-life imprisonment with the possibility of release from prison on parole.”

A list of journalists that have been killed in the act of doing a story. Shows that journalism isn’t always the easy stories that the local news might air. Every job has it’s risks, 474 killed in 10 years.

“Serial killers tend to be white, heterosexual males in their twenties and thirties who are sexually dysfunctional and have low self-esteem. Their methodical rampages are almost always sexual in nature. Their killings are usually part of an elaborate fantasy that builds to a climax at the moment of their murderous outburst. Serial killers generally murder strangers with cooling off periods between each crime. Many enjoy cannibalism, necrophilia and keep trophy-like body parts as mementos of their work. Serial killers are sadistic in nature.” This is a very disturbing page and I don’t recommend it to all.

This is a link to a course taught about serial killers.“The course will focus on four major areas of concern. Part I deals with anoverview of the phenomenon to include the myths of serial murder, why serialkillers kill, who they are (they are all around us), the victims of serialkillers, and serial murder as a growth industry.”

“Suspects in a pair of double homicides in St. Johns County were indicted on charges of first-degree murder yesterday, opening the door for prosecutors to seek the death penalty against three menaccused in the crimes. Eugene Gus Blythe, 18, and Andrew Darryl Busby, 19, were each indicted on first-degree murder charges in the Jan. 10 killings of cab driver Ryan Scott Craig, 42, and Lynn Jane Simmons, 46.”

“The MIT community reacted with sorrow, shock, anger and fright this week to the stabbing death Friday night of a 21-year-old junior from Norway, during a mugging that netted $33, while he and a friend walked on Memorial Drive near the Hayden Library.”
